Tintinnabular Notes

Severed papers, 

wonder colors

Lively voices from a distant 

Frail skin and touches 

Steps on stairs

and the light in your eyes

Dry rivers, 

Autumn leaves and oranges

Drowning slowly in sunlight 

Rain, words, symbols & meanings

Running grey in green fields 

Smell of naked spirit 

Dark visions in your sleep

Trying to breath slowly

Midnight after traumatic dream

Slow moves in theater 

& tremendous peace

Waving to your loved ones

Traveling the seas & those blue clovers

Fading future & promising clouds

Pins and principles 

In a matter

In a form 

Love, sages and serene bitterness 

Void like a mother, a child 

Like heavy feathers 

Knocking on wood 

The void again & God’s prayers
